Arterial revascularization of the heart with the radial artery was performed in twenty patients with varicosities of the lower legs. The patients all had a good functional result and were free of angina pectoris after the operation. None of the patients had complications from harvest of the radial artery. The patients were mobilized early, as no veins had been harvested from the legs.
